David Moyes could see the transfer window as one last roll of the dice in United's bid to defend their title.

With the FA Cup third round just around the corner the Red Devils will have a break from the pressure of the Premier League, and time to rebuild their squad.

Manager David Moyes could be busy this month and here we have a round-up of the transfer news and rumours from January 3.

Thursday's Manchester United transfer stories from the Daily Mirror

Inter Milan are set to put Manchester United and Chelsea on alert by releasing midfielder Esteban Cambiasso this summer, says our very own Ed Malyon.

The 33-year-old Argentine star, who earns £3.7million a year at the Italian giants, has been told he has to take a massive pay cut or leave when his contract runs out at the end of the season.

But new Inter owner Erick Thohir is determined to trim the huge wage bill at the club in a bid to cut costs.

New Financial Fair Play rules from UEFA state clubs cannot repeatedly spend more than their generated revenues. And an early exit from the Champions League will impact on the club's spending power for next season, sparking fears amongst some fans of a fire sale of stars in the summer.

His current deal runs out in June 2015, but the talented Croat has given his clearest indication yet that he will extend his contract with the La Liga club.

"We are going to sit down, we'll talk and then we'll see what we can do," he said.

"Everyone knows that I always come with great desire to train and to play, I walk around the city, and even the people that don't know me very well know that I am enjoying it here and that the most beautiful thing is to be part of [this team]."

Thursday's Manchester United transfer gossip and rumours from other newspapers and websites

Alexander Buttner could be on his way out of the club after failing to cement a place in the first team says the Daily Mail.

The paper reports that Galatasaray are leading the race for his signature with manager David Moyes willing listen to offers for the Dutchman.

The 24-year-old left back has failed to dislodge veteran Patrice Evra in the team, playing just twice in the Barclays Premier League this season.

But a piece on hereisthecity.com claims the defender is likely to go to Italy - but only on loan. His agent is quoted as saying: "I know that Genoa has made a request to Manchester United, I have had contact with them and I think we can close the deal on a loan."

Spurs have also been linked with the talented defender in recent days.

United's hope of signing Marco Reus have been dealt a blow after the midfielder admitted that he will not leave Borussia Dortmund in January, according to reports in Germany.

But Reus has moved to pour cold water on any rumours by declaring his happiness at staying with Dortmund.

"I have a valid contract with BVB and am happy to be here! I can only say to all: I do not think about a transfer. Anything other than Dortmund at this time is far away," he told German newspaper Bild.

The Metro are suggesting that Javier Hernandez could be on his way out if he continues to be a bit-part player at Old Trafford and pitch up at the Emirates - as we reported back in November.

The Mexican international will want to get as much first team football as possible with the World Cup in Brazil just a few months away.

Hernandez has been used primarily as back-up to Wayne Rooney and more recently Robin van Persie. But even though the Dutch striker is injured and out for a month he has yet to see much game time under David Moyes.

And Wenger could snap the 25-year-old up for around £15million, according to reports.

Manchester United are reportedly in talks with Dinamo Zagreb for their 17-year-old striker Robert Muric speculates the Daily Mail.

And Moyes could land the £6m-rated youngster for as little as £300,000. Chelsea and Barcelona have also watched the Croatian Under-17 international, who has become unhappy with life at the club.
